Apple AirPods offer around five hours of listening time and two hours of talk time on a single charge, and if you pop your AirPods for 15 minutes in their case, you can get up to three hours of listening time or over an hour of talk time.
During use, you`ll hear a tone when your AirPods` batteries are low, and another tone just before they run out. But you don`t have to wait for these tones to know how much charge they have remaining. Here are a few other ways that you can keep a closer eye on your AirPods` battery life.
On iPhone
If you`re not using your AirPods, open the charging case lid with the AirPods inside and hold the case close to your iPhone. The charge status of your AirPods and their case should appear on the device`s screen, and if you take out an AirPod, you`ll see individual percentages for the two earpieces.
You can also check the charge status of your AirPods using the Batteries widget in your iPhone`s Today View, accessed by swiping right on the Lock screen or on your Home screen`s first screen of apps.
If you`re wearing both AirPods, the Batteries widget will show a single percentage for the two of them that`s rounded down to the earpiece with the lowest battery. If you place one of the AirPods in your charging case, the widget will show you individual percentages, as well as the current charge level of the charging case itself.
If you don`t have it installed already, you can add the Batteries widget manually. To do so, enter the Today view, scroll to the bottom of the column of widgets and press the Edit button. Then simply tap the green plus button in the list next to Batteries and tap Done in the upper right of the screen.
If you`re a fan of Siri and you`re wearing your AirPods, you can always ask the virtual assistant `How is the battery life of my AirPods?` and you should get an answer.
